TUSCALOOSA | A Tuscaloosa man has been charged with furnishing drugs and alcohol to teenagers.

Chip Ervin, 31, was charged Friday with six counts of causing the delinquency of a child, resisting arrest, tampering with physical evidence and first-degree possession of marijuana.

Ervin was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana on Jan. 16, said Sgt. Michael Chaisson, an investigator in the juvenile division of the Tuscaloosa Police Department. While investigating that charge, he said, police obtained the warrants for the delinquency charges.

When investigators went to serve those warrants at his home in the 7000 block of Shadesbrook Drive on Friday night, they found Ervin in the bathroom trying to flush a half-pound of marijuana, Chaisson said. He had been out on bail on the previous charge.
